00:00:00.585 --> 00:00:05.373
Is Pokémon Scarlet/Violet a kid-friendly 
creature-catching adventure?

00:00:10.675 --> 00:00:11.662
100%.

00:00:13.128 --> 00:00:17.820
This new entry in the long-running,
globally popular franchise follows

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:21.420
players' quest to become the best
Pokemon trainer in the land.

00:00:25.173 --> 00:00:29.570
As with previous games in this series,
combat is the primary focus,

00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:33.813
with creatures facing off in a variety
of duels to determine who's stronger.

00:00:33.813 --> 00:00:37.446
While you'll see various forms
 of magical attacks, no blood or

00:00:37.446 --> 00:00:40.663
gore is shown, and defeated
enemies disappear in a flash of light.

00:00:42.557 --> 00:00:45.780
On the upside, the story promotes
empathy for characters going

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:50.100
through rough times, and emphasizes
both teamwork and self-improvement.

00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:58.920
Common Sense says Pokémon
Scarlet/Violet is OK for kids 8 and up.
